Titanium Nitride

Titanium Nitride Sputtering Target is a compound material composed of titanium and nitrogen, primarily used in Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) sputtering processes to deposit TiN thin films on substrates. TiN coatings are known for their high hardness, good wear resistance, chemical stability and characteristic golden-yellow appearance, making them suitable for functional, protective and decorative coating applications.

VIMATERIAL supplies Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets in different specifications and can provide target bonding services according to equipment and application requirements. Custom dimensions, shapes and other specifications can be discussed for specific applications and experimental requirements. Please contact us for further information.

Characteristics

Applications of Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets

• Cutting Tools: TiN thin films are deposited on cutting tool surfaces to improve surface hardness, wear resistance and thermal stability. The coating can help extend tool service life and maintain cutting performance during machining.
• Electronic Devices: TiN thin films can be used as diffusion barrier layers between metals and semiconductors, helping prevent unwanted atomic diffusion between different material layers and improving the stability and reliability of electronic devices.
• Decorative Coatings: TiN provides a characteristic golden appearance combined with good chemical stability and wear resistance. It is therefore used for decorative and protective coatings in applications such as jewellery, watches, hardware and architectural components.
• Mould Manufacturing: TiN coatings can reduce friction between mould surfaces and moulding materials, helping reduce demoulding resistance and improve wear resistance. This can contribute to longer mould service life and more stable production performance.
• Solar Cells: TiN thin films can be used in selected solar-cell structures, including as functional layers associated with transparent conductive electrodes. Their electrical and optical properties can contribute to charge-transfer management within specific device architectures.

Quality Control

Our products are manufactured and inspected under a strict quality management system. Strict inspection standards are applied to incoming materials, processing, final inspection and factory inspection. Non-conforming materials are isolated to prevent them from entering subsequent processes. Samples can be provided for customer re-inspection according to specific requirements.

Packaging and Storage

Titanium Nitride Sputtering Targets are packed in double-layer vacuum bags, followed by protective boxing and carton packaging. Customized packaging can be provided according to customer requirements.

It should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated environment. Avoid moisture and contact with strong corrosive substances. During transportation and handling, protect the targets from collision, friction and other physical damage to maintain their surface condition and material properties.
